Thanks for noticing this, dropping the 2to3 shenanigans.

Thanks. In addition the prepare() step in the PKGBUILD is no longer needed as (as of version 4.0) fipy has been completely ported to Python 3 and Python 2.x is no longer supported.

As to the changing checksums of released files on github, I have encountered this as well previously and am not entirely sure what the reason is for that. Does GH change the uploaded files in any way?

@jrohwer: thanks for the notice. Changing checksums of already released archives on github are a red flag for me, but this one seems legitimate. Updated.

sha256 checksum mismatch on fipy-4.0.2.tar.gz Please update PKGBUILD.

Please note the possibly breaking changes for version 4.0 before updating, and see also the changelog for version 3.99 published right with 4.0.

If possible, please remove the dependency on python-furure/ make the package working without python-future:

WARNING: python-future package is not compatible with Python 3.13

The python-future project was created in 2013 to attempt to save Python from the schism of version incompatibility that was threatening to tear apart the language (as Perl 6 contributed to the death of Perl).

That time is now past. Thanks to a huge porting effort across the Python community, Python 3 eventually thrived. Python 2 reached its end of life in 2020 and the python-future package should no longer be necessary. Use it to help with porting legacy code to Python 3 but don’t depend on it for new code.

If you use packages that depend on it, please contact maintainers and/or upstream of these packages and try to work out whether this dependency is really needed.

Regards and thanks for this package!

  • python-future is a dependency, not a makedependency.

@carlosal1015: it happens to me too...

Thanks, should be fixed now.
